A New Year, A New Year


So it's January 20th, and some of those resolutions have already come and gone. Fresh starts are a funny thing. They are so freeing and so exciting, yet there is such familiarity and comfort in the current ways of life. This could be elaborated on, but I will choose to move on for now. There seem to be so many things I want to do/see/accomplish in this life. For instance, there is a part of me that wants to pursue emergency nursing, perhaps going to EMT school, and on to being a flight nurse. There's another part of me that wants nothing more than to form relationships with today' youth through youth ministry, with the ultimate dream of owning and running my own camp, or pursuing overseas work with youth. I also am interested in Big Sisters. Another part of me wants to take time and just travel the world and experience all it has to offer. There is still another side of me that wants to attempt writing a book, perhaps. I would also like to learn to play guitar and piano. Add on to that, learning Spanish and Sign Language. Did I mention I would also like to be in a television series? Oh, and I also want to own a home, get married and have a family. I would also like to..........well, you get the point. Some go hand in hand and some don't go together at all. For this reason, it will be interesting. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future. The future is an unfamiliar, yet fantastically exciting thing, but for now, I will discover my future one day at a time, through the present, the here and now. For now, my future involves cleaning my apartment. Any volunteers?

So...It's ben a while...

I realize that I haven't updated in quite some time (if anyone reads this anyway). Let's see...I graduated in May, 2007. I then took and passed the NCLEX in June and became an official Registered Nurse (RN). It is crazy how quickly time passes! I am currently working the night shift on a cardiac step-down unit in a small county hospital. I don't particularly enjoy it, but it has been a decent starting point. I've had lots of experiences. I've lived and learned. I am ready to do something else, somewhere else. I had an interview this past Wednesday, but I'm not really sure how it went. I haven't heard anything back yet. However, even if I don't get the position, it is a step in the right direction. I feel like this year is going to bring about a lot of changes...and I think they will be good changes...I HOPE they will be good changes. I am going to make a committment to update this regularly, so if you are reading, please check back soon. Happy Trails,
Sarah
